@Matt The rules as you point out say failed or not so a player could (for some strange reason) intend to use every Clue token they have regardless of the outcome of the roll. It would be incredibly silly in such a situation to roll one at a time.

| Mar 13, 2019 at 4:48 | comment | added | Matt | Clue tokens allow you to roll additional dice one at a time. At no point that I see do the rules permit you to roll multiple dice at once from clue tokens. (rules page 13): "A player may spend Clue tokens, one at a time, after any skill check (failed or not)." So, you dont need nearly +48 dice to execute such a scenario unless you insist on keeping your failed dice around until you finish your skill check, or have a check needing an absurd number of successes. Or perhaps if you permit rolling multiple dice at once from clues as a shortcut (which just sounds like poor strategy anyway) | |

| Mar 8, 2019 at 18:40 | comment | added | Keven M | Thank you, I appreciate the answer. Given the idea of 15, I'm thinking then that around 30 would allow most cases to not have to multiple roll the same die, while also lowering the instances of needing to pass dice around as much. Thanks again! | |
